Here are some creative ideas for churches and individuals
who want to invest in the loves of young people going on Nehemiah Teams for the
summer.

Commissioning Service. The Sunday before your young people leave for missions pray over them as a church give each participant a remembrance such as a bracelet or a bookmark to remind them that they are being supported in prayer by their church family.

First Aid Kits. Support
the young people of your association that are going on mission by preparing a
First Aid Kit for each team. Have each Sunday School class donate an item or
two and you will quickly have everything you need to make the kit! This act of
kindness may not cost much but it demonstrates that you care about the teams
and want to invest in their lives.

Toiletry Bags. Prepare
small bags with soap, shampoo & conditioner, and a face towel for each
participant going from your church. This will minimize their need for pocket
money and be a blessing to them on the field.

Prayerchain. Ask
everyone in the church to commit to praying for the young people at different
times of the day. The goal is to make a chain of prayer that fills the day. The
teams will surely be blessed and strengthened by such faithful prayer!

Listen to their
Stories. When the young people
return ask them about their summer. Listen to their stories and prayer with
them for God’s continued work in the area.
